Bayer Leverkusen star Victor Boniface escapes with minor injuries following car crash

Bayer Leverkusen and Nigerian striker Victor Boniface shared video footage and photos of his crushed car after an accident on Sunday.

The attacker can be seen looking into the camera and then showing what appears to be his arm dripping with blood.

Other images show a black sports car which appears to have been destroyed in an accident. The post has since been deleted.

German tabloid Bild reported Sunday that Boniface “is doing well considering the circumstances and is only slightly injured,” citing a source close to the attacker.

Boniface wrote on social media on Sunday: “God is greatest” and “God says my time has not come.”

The striker’s club Leverkusen has not yet publicly commented on the news.

The 23-year-old forward joined Leverkusen last season and played a key role as the club completed an unbeaten league and cup double – their first ever Bundesliga win – while also receiving his first Nigeria call-up.

This season, he has seven goals in 10 matches in all competitions. On Saturday, he missed a penalty but headed in the winner in a 2-1 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

Leverkusen is away to French club Brest in the Champions League on Wednesday.
